TPR Posted April 21, 2016 Author Share Posted April 21, 2016 Here's some screen shots and video from "Track & Field 2." The cartridge is pictured in the post above. The game was originally published on the MSX and contains the following four events: 110 Meter Hurdles Javelin Throw High Jump 1500 Meter Race While it doesn't have some of the more interesting events as the "Hyper Olympics" arcade sequel to Track & Field, I still think this is a GREAT game and looks amazing on the CV (especially with an F18a installed!) Have a look at the video: I hope this game gets produced in larger quantities for more people to enjoy! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+lawdawg710 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Thank you for the video and honestly, that looks like a pretty bad ass game!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slab0meat Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I don't even remember offhand.. what events are in the original Track & Field homebrew? Any overlap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPR Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share Posted April 22, 2016 I don't even remember offhand.. what events are in the original Track & Field homebrew? Any overlap? The original one was the 100 meter dash, the long jump, the hammer throw, and 400 meter dash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIAD Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Whoever at Konami decided to include the 1500 Meter Race was a real sadist!!! You definetely need the Track & Field Controller for that event as it would be a Hand Controller killer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPR Posted April 26, 2016 Author Share Posted April 26, 2016 I posted this video in another thread, but I just ran across it again and I think it's a great way to show off the Super Game Module! IMO Galaga is a great game on just about any platform. Nothing beats the arcade version, of course, but the ColecoVision SGM version is certainly one of the better home versions I've played! (and I think I've played almost all of them!) If you're looking for a copy of the game, contact CollectorVision by PMing coleco_master and I'm sure they can set you up! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPR Posted May 1, 2016 Author Share Posted May 1, 2016 Yes, this is me playing through Lady Bug on the ColecoVision and talking a load of nonsense while playing. Let me know if you like this sort of video format or I should go back to playing games without any commentary! (I won't be offended! Well, maybe just a little bit...) but seriously, feedback is appreciated! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPR Posted May 5, 2016 Author Share Posted May 5, 2016 Some recent additions to the "CIB published by Coleco" collection... In fact I think this completes my "Published by Coleco" CIB collection other than having a real Donkey Kong (I have the repros) - Anyone have an extra they'd be willing to sell? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPR Posted May 6, 2016 Author Share Posted May 6, 2016 So I've jumped on the bandwagon of making "Let's Play..." videos. Come watch me totally suck at playing Venture! lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPR Posted May 12, 2016 Author Share Posted May 12, 2016 So I think this might be the complete collection of Opcode Prototype games. I checked NIAD's list for some and I couldn't find any reference to any others. Am I missing any? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLic0ne t0aD Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Not sure but that is awesome that you acquired all of those. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chart45 Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 you dont have the pre-prod purple box colecovision yet... 4d + shipping of waiting ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLic0ne t0aD Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Ah yes, The ultimate ColecoVision 'Holy Grail' IMO.. the purple proto box CV. I hope you or another AA get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPR Posted May 13, 2016 Author Share Posted May 13, 2016 you dont have the pre-prod purple box colecovision yet... 4d + shipping of waiting Not interested. Remember, I'm not a "completist" when it comes to my collection in terms of having everything. I like to have collections of more specific things (All of the Coleco branded games, all of the Pixelboy boxes, etc...) I saw that prototype box and the price is well outside of my interest level, especially considering that the hardware inside isn't any different than the production model other than the serial number. If it had the spinner controllers or something significantly different with the hardware, I *might* be more interested. I'm more of a "games" guy, anyway... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it had the spinner controllers or something significantly different with the hardware, I *might* be more interested. I hear you re. price and interest level, however I'm pretty sure that the PCB inside the ColecoVision will be a Rev. A board and there are only two of those confirmed to exist. If the Hand Controllers with Speed Roller were included, it would be a no brainer to make a run at it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmack36 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 I have a Rev A board in my coleco. Serial number A0463294. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
